The dirty little secret in education is that poor children do get stuck with lower quality public schools. But we may be closer than ever to more school choice in Texas – which the majority of Texans support.

On Thursday night last week, the Texas House managed to complete the debate on the state budget well before midnight. In a 12-hour long debate, the members delivered on many issues important to Texans. Now the legislature moves into a fevered pitch to beat deadlines & hear bills on House Floor.

“Rescinding this now is particularly malicious... At a time when the entire nation is trying to pull itself out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, its particularly irresponsible for President Biden to take this action while he fails to meet responsibilities along our southern border," said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar.
That title does not refer to the news or anything going on in the world, at least anything going on in the world that matters. It’s about the Oscars and how awful they were.
"I strongly believe your county, our state and our fellow Texans should not be forced to shoulder the costs of the border crisis. The federal government should reimburse us in full," said Gov.

Saying they are committed to support the men and women protecting our borders, as well as the border communities and children or families determined to migrate to our country, Texas Congressmen Tony Gonzales & Henry Cuellar, along with U.S. Senators John Cornyn & Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) are responding to the migrant crisis at the Southern Border.
For the last 60 years, every Justice Department has said a Constitutional Amendment would be needed in order to make the District of Columbia a state. That's not deterring today's Democrats. There is just one problem for them though – it is unconstitutional.

Dan Patrick following the unanimous passage of Bettencourt’s "Charter School Equity Act."
Texas Cong. Kevin Brady recently announced he'll retire at the end of 2022. A little known fact is, President Trump's Tax Reform & Jobs Act of 2017 would not have happened were it not for Brady’s selfless work, and expertise as point man for the effort in Congress. It changed the course of the nation's economic future – benefiting millions of Americans with higher jobs.
